與, ‘Lee Jae-myung Seongnam FC doubt’ Jeong Nod-joon… Controversy over the president’s foreign trip

Starting tomorrow, the first National Inspectorate will… make politics worse

“I will comprehensively evaluate the five years of the Moon Jae-in regime and clearly organize all the corruption and actions that have ruined the country.”

“I will preserve the fairness and common sense that Yun Seok-yeol’s regime has single-handedly destroyed, and correct the state’s incompetence together with the people.” (Democratic Party floor leader Park Hong-geun)

Before the first national examination of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, which will be held from the 4th to the 24th, the war between the opposition parties and the opposition parties is intensifying. The ruling party has set the ‘Moon Jae-in theory of government responsibility’ and the opposition ‘Yoon Seok-yeol theory of government incompetence’ as the basis for this year’s National Inspection, and they are ready to commit all-out war .

At the moment, the ruling and the opposition parties are expected to fight fiercely from the 4th, the first day of the National Inspection. The Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee of the National Assembly will examine the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 4th, and it is very likely that issues such as President Yoon’s foreign trip last month and the foreign policy of the Moon Jae-in government will become issues.

The Democratic Party plans to launch an attack on various diplomatic issues, including the so-called ’empty diplomacy’ debate, such as the implementation of the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the debate over the failure of President Yoon’s sympathy. to Queen Elizabeth II of England, and the debate over President Yoon’s profane language. On the other hand, People’s Power intends to argue that “a diplomatic failure has occurred during the five years of Moon Jae-in’s administration”, citing ‘one-to-one diplomacy’ during President Moon Jae-in’s visit to China .

It is also expected that the opposition parties will fight fiercely for President Yun’s wife, Kim Kun-hee. The Democratic Party plans to thoroughly investigate Kim’s allegations of plagiarism in the Education Committee, and the Legislative and Judiciary Committee will repeatedly demand that a special prosecutor be introduced for Kim’s claims of manipulating Deutsche Motors stock prices . In response, People’s Power plans to counter the opposition’s offensive by highlighting the prosecution’s investigation into the alleged misuse of corporate cards by Kim Hye-kyung, the wife of Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung, in the Judiciary Committee.

The People’s Power also targets the Moon Jae-in administration in this National Review, and at the same time highlights Lee’s “judicial risk” to resist the Democratic Party’s wave of numerical superiority. The power of the people, which Lee defined as “the body of a bribery disaster,” demands even his resignation. On the 2nd, floor spokesman Jang Dong-hyuk raised a date for the suspected sponsorship of Seongnam FC involving CEO Lee, saying, “Even with the number of 169 seats, sins cannot be covered’ r CEO Lee.”

The Democratic Party, on the other hand, intends to focus on highlighting the incompetence of the ruling party. In particular, it intends to investigate the allegations of preferential orders related to the relocation of the presidential office and the private recruitment of the presidential office. A key Democratic Party official said, “President Yoon even rejected the proposal to dismiss Foreign Minister Park Jin, so the Democratic Party has no choice but to go from the National Inspectorate to an all-out war. “
